    Wow, that is such a beautiful thing! I love how macro photography allows us to appreciate what would otherwise go unnoticed. Gorgeous!

    Most weeds tend to look pretty, it fools the non-gardener into letting them be.
    Love your composition.

    Stunning! Flowers are flowers, I say :) One of the most beautiful flowers in Alaska is actually a weed (fireweed), but the colors and structure of the flower are so pretty!

    Great take on the challenge :)
